19/11/2020 (Agence Europe) – EU and UK government negotiators for the future post-Brexit relationship, Michel Barnier and David Frost, had to break off their talks on Thursday 19 November due to a case of Covid-19 detected among Michel Barnier’s team, Barnier announced on his Twitter account. The respective teams will continue to work, but the two men have suspended their contacts because of this positive case “for a short period of time”, the EU negotiator said.
